    I have actual experience with time travel tech. Secret of course. I could show you the scars in history where we changed things. Things aren't as people think. Each time we touched history, entropy was increased. Each attempt was to reduce entropy; but always it was measurably increased. We tried to stop one war. One any reader might remember. But the energy 'bounced', it just made it start - early. By about 3 or 4 days. 20 or 30,000 extra people died. That would not have died. I still remember each one. Where they died. The pain never leaves me. Always entropy was increased. I can't say which war because governments don't like private citizens to have their own foreign policies. One time, the action made a headline happen, around the world, "For the first time in ___ thousand years ____ " .. But that event, though good, lead to an equal and opposite, or balancing bad event. A competing nation imitated the action and so ramped up tensions. Entropy increased. This analogous to the current Ukraine war, all seeing Russia so weak. So Russia has responded by now having as policy to first use tactical nukes if they decide they need to, to balance their appearance of weakness. Another example, the odd election of a black man named Hussein as President in America. He using advanced, futuristic at the time use of social media. But this event in history created energy that resulted in an equal and opposite election of a Trump pattern afterwards. We were trying to do good, but every day I know .. I MADE Trump. No. I actually did. In '16 we had the energy equations balanced. Or so we thought. It was set. Trumpy would lose. Then pow! Four Republican governors pulled a Florida and against exit polls and pre-polls, he "won." And appointed one of those State's people as his UN Ambassador. One he didn't even like. No, history is a holographic energy that keeps track of underlying energy. Destructive and constructive waves are absorbed and it heals itself. There's always a dive toward the central averages and a certain increase in entropy. Drown baby Hitler and JP Morgan, Chase, Ford, GM, GE, Big Oil would have found some other unemployed security guard/painter to take his place. He and Mussi financed to balance/stand against the Russian Communism coming into Europe, UK, America. Like they financed the Shah, Pinochet, the Saudi dictators with every other right wing dictator after. All, to stand against the same Russian Communism. History wants a middle moderation, not extremes. French, Russian, American, Chinese Revolutions, off with the Monarch's heads - this lead to opposite extreme of 20th Century. The wealthy elite, monarchs and powerful financed Hit1er, Mussolini, the Shah, Saudi, Pinochet, Idi Amin and every other dictator of 20th Century. These extremes against these Revolutions. When we made Obama. We lead to the making of Trump too, as reaction. That smile look on Trumpy's face is burned into my mind. With other efforts and their results. History can't be fooled. It always increases entropy. Flows in a direction at a general rate. When you see any historical event that is oddly not average, statistically, that might be where someone with our tech has reached back and changed things. Or the super rich. Without time tech, just money. We were never able to balance the equations so things could be improved. So I just stopped. It is painful to know your any action makes things worse. But one never gives up hoping. Maybe at some point we can learn to make things go better not worse. - These words all made up of course. Of course. I'd be in a lot of trouble if true!

    The main problem understanding time travel is that we don't really understand what any kind of travel is, at a fundamental level. We know how to travel through space, if we want to, I can get up and walk over there, but we don't really know what that means at a fundamental level. So, the reason we don't know the answer is that we don't really understand the question sufficiently well. For instance, there are two quite different notions of "going back in time". According to one of them, I, as I am now, could somehow be transported back into the Middle Ages and find myself living in that time, complete with my memories of the future. According to the other notion, you could somehow "wind time back", so it is the Middle Ages again, but you won't be present there. You won't exist until you are born much later. The difference between these two notions corresponds to two very different ways of understanding time. One is that time is something that you travel through, albeit with no choice. The other is that somehow you are in time, but it passes. It makes all the moves, so to speak, you don't move within it.

    Listen, people. You can find the evidence that time travel to the past is possible and The Block Universe theory is a real too. Our present time is not the "first" but seems like a movie or song with a replay on. Because of Kim Wilde, The Terminator, Back to the Future, Poland. They are connected by an extraordinary but the tragic story that happened in the late 1970's between Kim Wilde and the certain polish-american soldier who came from the 21st century. He probably died on 26th October 1979 but she never found out. Her music career - especially the song "Cambodia" - or movies like Terminator & BTTF (M. Biehn and Michael J. Fox were choise because of him) are the consequence of this story that has been encoded in these famous movies, a date of October 26 for example (release date of T1 or BTTF's title itself). The common elements between T-1 and BTTF-1 are the coded description of this man's life in the really closed timelike curve and the entire BTTF trilogy also "predicted" his whole life, including the meeting with Kim Wilde on the final scene in BTTF 3: Wild(e) West and 7th September (his future date of birth) = Space & Time. Spacetime. That's all for now.

    The classified time radio the government is hiding is an elitist weapon used for torture, cruelty, and genocide. I think I was shown specifically so that I would warn others of the dangers of its use. It's really bad. It erases lives and incompetent members of the psychiatric and law enforcement communities can't grasp concepts like pre-punishment causing the crimes it was intended to prevent. The govt of tomorrow lets psychiatry use it today, and it ruins lives exponentially worse than psychiatry alone.
